The choice of the 20 poems corresponds to Donovan's The Breton Lay,
the only synthesis so far available on this topic in English. Most
references are accompanied by a summary which analyses their
contribution to thetopic under discussion, covering the item's
significance and interest, and items found in works of reference
and briefer studies forming part of books or articles are included
where appropriate. Each individual bibliography is intended to
stand independently, with full references given in each case for
editions and translation; cross-references to important items found
in other parts of the volume are given at the end of each
bibliography. The twenty partsare preceded by a general section
which lists contributions to more than one lay. Professor GLYN
